I was told that maybe I did not make my point well enough before, so let me try again:
I understand that content is something that many would be happy to be.
Many people have miserable lives, many time through no fault of their own and I get that
What I am talking about is that the answer to questions many times is not "yes" or "no", it is "I guess"
That is not an answer
And maybe this goes back to my post about romance...maybe I am asking people who fall into that "happy medium" to know what deep and passionate emotion is. Maybe it is easier to feel cold than to feel love or passion!
I know that everything has a bell curve: income, height, weight, everything...
maybe I am just a person that was skied down the hill of the curve and is now at the end and wonders why no one else is seeing that it is better here...that it feels more alive here..
or maybe I am just nuts
But again, they write books about love stories about love stories like Gone with the Wind where a man and a woman are so madly in love that they do anything to keep it going until Rhett gives up....
or Ghost where death can not stop love...
or this movie my wife made me watch about a mailbox that moves letters through time, I forget the name, and two people fall in love in those letters and finally meet
Why do we love watching passion on the screen yet we think it is crazy when it is real?
Why are we content to be content?
